'Wonder Woman' Discussion and Speculation

that's a pretty bad assumption to make. we don't know who else they've picked to take over

 

Unfortunately given that this is the same movie studio that wanted Nick Cage as Superman originally, tyhat's probably an accurate assumption, particularly since Lohan has said she wants to play WW.

All I know is nothing would make me want to see this movie now.

 

I don't think we should be to pessimistic, theres still a good chance that a good movie will come out of this.

 

I'm so glad Whedon is off of this project. If he were running the show, Wonder Woman would probably be a rape victim turned lesbian, or something Buffy-ish.

 

The way I see it now, one of two things: Either Lohan will get her wish and play a dumb as a brick Diana, or the movie just will not get made at all at this point.

I'm leaning towards the latter with Lohan's recent penchant for unreliablity for showing up on her movie sets.

 

Where is the idea of Lindsay Horhan aka Lindsay The Drunk, Loose Lindsay or Lindsay Lohan, playing Wonder Woman coming from ?

Peter Jackson should direct wonder woman I doubt he would though.

 

i highly doubt the studios would even consider offering the role to Lohan

 

Don't be so sure. The last two Batman movies before Batman Begins ring a bell?

 

i think WB has learned their lesson since then as is proven with Batman Begins

 

I agree. I think the studios are recognizing that superhero movies work only if you can take them somewhat seriously. The real touchstone of the current movement is the original X-Men film. It took itself seriously to a certain extent and tried to create a world where the mutants' powers could actually exist. It wasn't campy...or at least as campy as the B:F and B&R. Recently, Catwoman is a film that reemphasized the point that the superhero story has to have some basis in pragmatism.

Of course, there is the other extreme with films like HULK which seem to take themselves too seriously. I personally liked HULK but I can see where the complaints come from with some backing.

 

I thought Batman Forever was alright Val Kilmer was an OK Batman, although Batman and Robin was a complete disaster. The filmmakers just have to make sure they strike a balance.

 

Interestingly, the Donner's were associated with the X-men films. Therefore, one could say that it was Superman: The Movie that, originally, showed us a basic formula for how a superhero film should progress. Richard Donner says on the documentaries for the first two Superman films that they had a $10 word posted above them at all times, "verisimilitude". It's a fancy way of saying, "Keep it real." Directors, producters, writers, etc must treat any comicbook undertaking, no matter how ridiculous it seems, as a true story if it is going to have a real chance at appealing to audiences and succeeding as a well crafted motion picture. Amazingly, the first two Superman movies are so well done, storywise, that many of us are able to ignore the obvious and sleazy disco era in the background of these pictures. Those movies work; even today.

Sam Raimi has done a good job of dealing with the material he has been given as well, and I can't wait to see what Nolan gives us with The Dark Knight.

Back to the focus of this topic. Let's hope that the Wonder Woman story falls into the right hands.

 

LOL!


WW would spend the whole film crying over something!

"I'm such a tortured, flawed hero! Bwaaaaaa-haa-ha-haaaa!"
